Sammanfattning
The objective was to evaluate the effect of a nurse-conducted intervention on excessive drinkers by a randomized, controlled trial performed at the Vårby Health Centre, Stockholm. The intervention group visited a nurse three times during a 12-month period. The controls met once with a general practitioner. Patients were recruited at a health screening. The intervention had an impact on self-reported consumption. The controls also reported decreased consumption possibly because their appointment with the GP functioned as a very brief intervention.
